Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) is getting a lot of firmware updates. Lot of people are working on it to make it better in each update. We have already described in our older posts about the
I9300XXBLH4 JellyBean 4.1.1 update. Now we are here with the next update, that is I9300XXDLH6 leaked firmware which based on the base firmware I9300XXDLG4. The firmware should not be done in a Galaxy S3 with a custom ROM. So if you are in such a condition go for the stock ROM and then try the update.
After this leaked firmware, Samsung has already launched the official firmware in
